No.5:

Babi Guling Sanur
Second choice in the area is at Sanur Denpasar area, that operate a run down area but serve classic food. Have not tried but many recommending this place. Be early to enjoy the first batch of pippin hot suckling pig. As if it hit much later in the noon, it is not that fresh anymore. Recommending to go before 2pm.

no.6

Warung Tegas
I read that why this warung is commented by many because of its cheap pricing and offering authentic Balinese mix rice. Babi guling is their main signature however pork meat is one of their highlight. For a simple meal of 2 you can get around 19,000 rupiah which is very cheap.

Babi Guling Gung Cung

One of the alternative if you do not prefer Ibu Oka as they are just about 500meters away from Ibu Oka. A place which is well known among locals that buy off to share with families,colleagues and friends. Locals here buy it in stacks as you can see stacks of babi guling stack ontop of each other.
